The Ultimate Superman Reading Order
Having collected comics for a while and starting to read them at a later date, I never knew where to start. Especially when it came to having missing issues, or having series that intertwined with another, or issues that followed previous stories which I hadn’t read yet! Also as a dedicated Superman fan, I wanted to ensure that I’d read EVERYTHING featuring Superman and when I searched online where to begin, what I found wasn’t very clear at all.
With that said, I used those guides and my own experience to create a list which focuses mostly on release date. That way you and I can experience Superman & co in comics in the order that comic publishers originally intended, and also in the same way that many other generations of Superman fans did.
Different readers may want to focus on different aspects and characters of ‘The Superman Family’, however this reading order will follow the issues and series of the characters mentioned in the key below.
Key: Text highlighted in white feature Superman, blue text feature Superboy, purple text feature Lois Lane, and red text feature Supergirl. Those highlighted with orange text feature Jimmy Olsen, pink text feature Superwoman, green text feature Krypto The Superdog and fuchsia text feature Jor-El.

You are a true legend: thank you!
You are most welcome!
Wonderful! Will there be more?
Yes there will! Iām just over half way with 1957 now š
Hey hey, I have really enjoyed your content on Superman, and your reading order you have here on your site is totally awesome. I was trying find a good golden age list and that’s how I ran across your site. If it might help I have found a couple sites that have a good list of post crisis if it might help in your research, also I found a good reddit post that lays out the “triangle years” in order by each book in a google doc. I’ll post here for you. Keep collecting and keep the awesome content coming.

Thank you so much Darin! Glad you are enjoying!
How long does it take you to research and compile each year’s order on average? I’ve started picking through the comics with friends in the last month using this as reference, so we’re in no danger of catching up, but I’m curious how frequently additions come around.
Thanks for reading! It’s hard to say really, but I work on it most evenings! I expect the next year to be posted in around a week. This years research has taken longer, I had a baby in between this and the previous year hence the severe delay, but I think that will be a one off! I’d like to estimate 2-3 months per year following that.
Any further progress?
I’m around a quarter of the way through 1959! 1958 was added last month, not sure if you’ve seen that yet? If not I better up my game!
This is brilliant, no other reading list is as coherent when regarding pre crisis Supes!
I’m glad you approve!
Really thankful for something like this.
Just a note, I believe you omitted New York’s World fair comics #1, its around Action Comics #12 time period
glad itās proving useful! Thank you, iāll have a look into that!
Outstanding thanks!
Do you have a reading order for modern post crisis? 1987-2011?
Not yet iām afraid! Iām working through year by year!
Ok great man look forward to it!
Did u include all of silver age or only some?
Itās a work in progress! But every single issue will be there.
This list is fantastic, thanks for continuing it!
Thank you. I’ll try to start reading both Action Comics and Superman from the beginning.
